Using some of the finest exotic wood available, such as: Zebrawood, Padauk, Wenge, Canarywood and Bubinga. Mark creates striking and distinctive presentation pieces.  His artwork is sold through these galleries:   Gallery closed until - May 2008 Lewiston, NY  716.754.8101       My artwork is now   on display at the: Los Angeles, CA.	Mark's a self-taught lathe artist; from an early age becoming a carpenter was the natural choice. Learning the proper use of hand tools during his apprenticeship plays a key role in the making of his bowls today. Working endlessly to design and produce turned vessels that appeal to everyone. Look for more innovative designs from him in the future. Please sign the guest book and tell him what you think of his artwork.   I have decided to donate 12 of my bowls to deserving local charities.   Make-A-Wish of WNY was the first. I feel this will be the start of something wonderful, I gain inspiration from knowing that my work will help others. Children's charities will be my first priority. Getting to know the people associated with each charity has been a pleasurable experience for me. Thank you for visiting my website, Mark Placek The exotic wood is supplied by:
